Women's MicroTherm® StormDown® Field Vest

World's Best Down®

The ultimate ultralight field vest, made and fitted specifically for women. The award-winning design includes a 40-denier ripstop nylon shell with CORDURA® nylon overlays for added durability. The 700 fill StormDown® is specially treated to make it moisture-resistant, allowing it to maintain its superior loft and warmth, even in wet conditions.

I love this vest. I got the blue & it's great. I only gave it 4 stars for look because the panel in the lower back could have been curved to flatter the female figure better. Be aware- it's pretty big. I am 5' 5" & 128lbs & bigger boned structure & don't have a tiny waist or a very hourglass figure & needed an Extra Small. I never wear extra small! I usually wear med to large in most clothes because I like loose clothing around the middle, but the Small vest just looked stiff & sloppy big. The Extra Small looks perfect for layering over light weight clothing, which is the way I'll use it in Texas.

Overall, I really like this vest. The fit is exactly as described, perfect for layering. I've gotten compliments on it, I really like the look and the colors. As far as functionality goes, that's where it loses a star. I wore it on one walk through the woods and the nylon trim at the zippers got very frayed, I had to trim a bunch of loose threads off. If you're just wearing it about town, or on easy prairie hunts, I bet it'll be just fine for a very long time. But if you're in grouse country, it might not hold up as well. I expected it to be a little more rugged since it's in the "Hunting and Shooting" category.
